And the Award goes to...

After conceiving projects during the first stage of Learning Journey to solve community problems, here comes the second stage, where you shall put these projects into actual action.

So, why not start by inspiring others with your work?

Think: Is your project solving your community problems effectively? Is it dedicated to bring a positive change in the community? Have you become an Active Citizen who's transforming others into Active Citizens too?

If your answers are, "yes", then you stand a great chance to win the national “Active Citizens of the Year” award for 2009/10.

Simply participate in a national competition for the most promising community projects.
And here’s your chance …

Active Citizens Pakistan is holding a competition to find the top ten dynamic projects teams across the country; projects that are committed to help people; projects that are being implemented for community's welfare. We're inviting all the participants of Learning Journey to send in their projects and compete for this prestigious award.

Consequently, the winning teams will be bestowed with “Active Citizens of the Year 2009/10” award. This will be their chance to get recognition for all the diligent work that they have done for their society and inspire many young Pakistanis.
